WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the opening of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem (all times local):

4:15 p.m.

U.S. officials say several dozen additional Marines are being deployed to beef up security at embassies in Israel, Jordan and Turkey amid outbreaks of violence since the opening of the new U.S. embassy in Jerusalem.

The officials say the increases are temporary and will involve roughly a dozen more Marines in each location. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss troop movements.

It was not clear how many Marines would be at the new embassy in Jerusalem and how many would remain at the Tel Aviv facility, which is still operating.

President Donald Trump says the opening of the new U.S. embassy in Jerusalem has been a "long time coming."

Trump gave a video address that aired at the opening of the new embassy Monday. He announced late last year that he would fulfill his campaign promise to move the embassy.

Trump said that the U.S. had "failed to acknowledge the obvious" for many years, adding that "today, we follow through on this recognition."

Trump added that the new embassy was opening "many, many years ahead of schedule."

The embassy move has enraged the Palestinians. Trump said he remained committed to "facilitating a lasting peace agreement."

Trump stressed a close bond with Israel. He also said he was "extending a hand of friendship to Israel, the Palestinians and to all of their neighbors."
